"Controversy Over Soundness"

I'm removing the comment about controversy surrounding the soundness of this sampling algorithm. If you can't go into details or explain why the method is controversial and possibly not sound, then cite a credible reference. Since the method has been peer-reviewed, published, and used successfully in applications, I think a comment like this requires a credible citation per standard Wiki terms/rules.

Reference 5 is a dead link

X_i in pseudo-code

hi there, is it really correct that X_i=exp(-i/N)? Shouldn't it be X_i=exp(-\theta_i/N)?
